Garment Having Integrated Sweat-Eliminating Front Section or Sections

ABSTRACT

Provided is a shirt garment,—a short-sleeved, or long-sleeved, waist-length, hip-length, or tunic-length—shirt, which is made of material that is a relatively non-absorbent or hydrophobic substance able to wick perspiration off of the wearer&#39;s body, and which also contains an integrated section on the front of the shirt, and at the bottom one-third, to bottom one-half of the front of the shirt, but which may extend beyond this region, which is made of a relatively absorbent or hydrophilic substance, which, when grasped by the wearer, and lifted upward by the wearer and towards the wearer&#39;s face, is capable of wiping off the sweat from the wearer&#39;s face, eyes, eyebrows, and forehead, thereby absorbing sweat from this area, all the while the wearer continues to engage in his or her physical activity. In a second scenario, and using these same principles, the absorbent layer is detachable, and while detached, is used by the wearer to wipe sweat away from the wearer&#39;s face, brow and neck. It is then re-attached all the while the wearer continues to pursue the physical activity.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser.No. 62/124,644 filed Dec. 29, 2014, and entitled “GARMENT HAVINGINTEGRATED SWEAT-ELIMINATING FRONT PANEL OR PANEL SECTIONS.” Theentireties of the aforementioned application are incorporated herein byreference.

BACKGROUND

People of all ages and genders engage in physical activity forrecreation, exercise and training, or, as a profession, such asconstruction work. The physical activity causes them to sweat. Sweat,when in large amounts on the forehead, face and neck, can makecontinuing the physical activity difficult due to the general discomfortit creates, the sweat causes interference with vision, and because thesweat stings when it accidentally enters the eyes. Having to pause tolocate a towel to remove the sweat from these areas of the body disruptsthe physical activity and is time-consuming. The idea behind the shirtinnovation is that the wearer can wipe away the sweat from his or herforehead, face, eyes, and neck, while continuing to engage in the samelevel of physical activity, and without any time loss. The shirt is alsouseful upon the ceasing of the physical activity because it quickly andeffectively eliminates the sweat from the forehead, face and neck areasat this time as well.

While engaging in physical activity, whether recreational, competitive,or job-related, it is difficult to carry a towel with one's self. Sweatbands and head bands are often problematic because they add bulk, aretoo tight and restricting, and because they are not made of sufficientlyabsorbent materials. The person engaging in physical activity has his orher clothing to reduce or eliminate the perspiration from the parts ofthe body covered by the clothing, but the forehead, face, and neck arewithout. The sweat on one's face, forehead and neck is disconcerting andthe amount of sweat can be invasive. With the use of this innovativeshirt, the wearer, who has been running or jogging, for example, canremove his or her sweat while still moving, simply by lifting theabsorbent section of the shirt, located on the bottom third to bottomhalf of the front of the shirt, up toward the face, to wipe away thesweat. The wearer releases the shirt from his or her grasp and continueswith the running or jogging. No time has been lost in the activity. Thewearer may want to lower his or her face downward towards the bottomsection of the shirt, while lifting the section up to the face, in orderto get the full range and benefit of the absorbent section of the shirt.It may also help if the person moves his or her face and neckleft-to-right across the absorbent section to cause the absorbentsection to come into contact with all parts of the face, eyes, forehead,and neck. The fact that the absorbent section makes up one-third toone-half of the bottom region of the front of the shirt means that therewill be a sufficient amount of absorbent material available to serve thehead and neck regions in this way.

In a varying scenario, the absorbent section is a detachable panellocated in the same region of the shirt that, once removed, is used inthe same fashion described above to wipe sweat away from the face,forehead, and neck, all the while continuing in the physical activity.The detachable panel may also serve the needs of those engaged in thefood serving industry.

SUMMARY

The following presents a simplified summary of the innovation to garnera foundational understanding of some aspects described herein. It is notan extensive summary of the claimed subject matter. It is intended toneither identify key or critical elements of the claimed subject matternor delineate the scope of the innovation. Its main goal is to providebasic principles regarding the claimed subject matter. A more detaileddescription follows.

Disclosed is a garment, which is a short-sleeved shirt, or along-sleeved shirt, of standard length, or tunic length, or any lengthin between, to be used by individuals of any age or interest who areengaging in physical activity of any kind, and sweat due to theiractivity, and in particular, the sweat is causing annoyance to the face,forehead, eyes and neck. Because of the sweating, these individuals areunable to proceed as comfortably as they desire to as the profuse amountof sweating creates discomfort, interferes with their vision, and stingstheir eyes. The shirt is made of clothing material of a relativelynon-absorbent or hydrophobic substance able to wick perspiration off ofthe wearer's body, except that the bottom one-third to one-half of thefront of the shirt is made of a relatively absorbent or hydrophilicsubstance which has been integrated and/or combined into the shirt. Thisregion, when grasped by the wearer, can be lifted upward toward thewearer's face, and used to wipe away sweat from the wearer's forehead,eyes, face and neck all the while the wearer continues to engage in thephysical activity with zero time loss.

A shirt garment which is used like a towel or sweatband because aportion of the shirt is made of absorbent material such as cotton andthis portion has the capability to efficiently wipe sweat away from theuser's face, eyes, neck and forehead.

A shirt garment capable of both wicking perspiration off approximatelythree-quarters of the wearer's body because, approximatelythree-quarters of the shirt is made of non-absorbent material such asbreathable nylon. The remaining one-quarter of the shirt is to be usedfor the removal of sweat from the forehead, eyes, face and neck becauseit is made of an absorbent material or materials, such as cotton. Thisone-quarter area is located in the front lower section of the shirtgarment. The wearer grasps the lower section of the shirt upward to hisor her face and neck to wipe away the sweat there. This one-quartersection is interwoven into, and physically inseparable from, thenon-absorbent material because it has been integrated, interwoven,incorporated, or otherwise fused to the non-absorbent material at thepoints of connection, such as by a seamless seam or standard seam.

This one-quarter section can replace the non-absorbent material thatwould otherwise be in this region, or alternately, can be placed andsewn on top of the non-absorbent material in this region, along theexterior side of the non-absorbent material. In this alternate scenario,the shirt may be considered a multi-layer garment because of thisparticular region.

In addition, according to other illustrative embodiments, thisone-quarter section may be detachable from the remainder of the shirtbecause the two materials are held together by Velcro, or snaps (i.e.,in a manner that is detachable secured). Using this method, the weareris basically carrying a mini-towel along with him or her while engagingin physical activity or certain types of employment. In one scenario,upon detachment of the absorbent material, there will be no under layerof nonabsorbent clothing material. In a second scenario, where thegarment is a multi-layer garment, there will be an under layer ofnonabsorbent clothing material.

The garment shall be comprised of a first clothing material portion of arelatively non-absorbent or hydrophobic substance capable of wickingperspiration off a wearer's body, and a second clothing material portionof a relatively absorbent or hydrophilic substance capable of absorbingsweat from a wearer that is attached to said first clothing materialportion.

According to certain embodiments, the single-layer or multi-layergarment may be comprised of a thermal compression material portion of arelatively non-absorbent or hydrophobic substance capable of wickingperspiration off a wearer's body, and a clothing material portion of arelatively absorbent or hydrophilic substance capable of absorbing sweatfrom a wearer that is attached to said thermal compression materialportion.

According to other illustrative embodiments, the single-layer garment ormulti-layer garment may be comprised of a thermal compression material,and a clothing material of a relatively absorbent or hydrophilicmaterial capable of absorbing sweat from a wearer that is detachablysecured to said thermal compression material.

In certain illustrative embodiments, the relatively non-absorbent orhydrophobic material of the garment may be comprised of lightweightcloth of a type commonly used in athletic jerseys, lightweight stretchfabric material, fabric, nylon, cotton, cotton terry cloth, stretchterry cloth, knitted cotton yarn, flannel, spandex, polyestermicrofiber, lycra, lycra/spandex hybrid, wicking polyester, open weave,closed weave, mesh, soft textured microfiber yarn with full strengthspandex, or any blend of like material.

In other illustrative embodiments, the relatively non-absorbent orhydrophobic material of the garment may be comprised of polyvinylalcohol (PVA), chamois leather, or any blend of like material.

According to other embodiments, the shape of the absorbent material maybe provided in a variety of suitable shapes and sizes. For example, andwithout limitation, the shape of the material may comprise a square,rectangular, oval, half-oval, polygonal, octagonal, semicircular,circular, or other geometric shapes, as well as asymmetrical shapes, orany shape.

According to certain illustrative embodiments, the appearance of theabsorbent material can feature various designs, illustrations, shapes,sizes, and colors. For example, it can be made in the image of risingflames, rolling waves, lightning bolts, a popular saying, a name of asports team, a name of a school, college or university, or a picture. Itcan be a design including, but not limited to multiple columnar wavylines, squiggle lines, or concentric circles. The absorbent material canbe the color fuchsia, and the non-absorbent material can be light-pink.

Section I is madeof the first clothing material which is the relatively non-absorbent orhydrophobic substance material, and Section II is the relativelyabsorbent or hydrophilic clothing material, which is disposed about thebottom one-third to one-half of the front of the shirt. The absorbent orhydrophilic clothing material of Section II is shown interwoven into andphysically inseparable from the relatively non-absorbent or hydrophobicsubstance material of Section I. It is connected for example, by a seamor seamless seam. Section I is capable of wicking perspiration off thewearer's body. Section II of the shirt is used for wiping the sweat awayfrom the face, forehead and neck during physical activity. The means forsecuring the moisture absorbing material to the non-absorbent materialof the shirt may include, for example, sewing, stitching, adhesives,pressure-sensitive adhesives, or the like.

Alternately, Section II of the shirt in FIG. 1 can lay on top of theexterior of the non-absorbing material in the region where Section II islocated. In other words, the garment can include the material of SectionII on an exterior of the material of Section I so that it ismulti-layered in this particular area. The means for securing themoisture absorbing material to the non-absorbent material of the shirtmay include, for example, sewing, stitching, adhesives,pressure-sensitive adhesives, hook and loop fastener, buttons, thread,zipper, heat-activated adhesive, or the like.

Alternately, Section II of the shirt in FIG. 1 can consist of a panel ofabsorbent or hydrophilic clothing material that is attached, by VELCRO®,or by snaps, for example, to the front of the shirt, rather than beinginterwoven into the garment, so that it is detachable, and upondetachment, the panel presents itself as a mini-towel to be used aboutthe face, forehead and neck. The means for detachably securing themoisture absorbing material of Section II to the non-absorbent materialof the shirt may include, for example, buckles, buttons, snaps, clips,fasteners, VELCRO® hook and loop fasteners, slide fasteners, zippers,and the like. The means for securing the moisture absorbing material ofSection II to the non-absorbent material of the shirt are done in such amanner so as not to impede the mobility or motion of the wearer. Theremay be a layer of non-absorbent material under the moisture absorbingmaterial of Section II, or alternately, there is no under layer.

The shirt in FIG. 1 may also comprise a thermal or compression fitmoisture-wicking sports shirt in Section I that features the sameSection II of the shirt as an intrinsic element, which is used forwiping the sweat away from the face, forehead and neck during physicalactivity
